The Cupping Bundle
The Cup at Home Bundle
"Cupping" is how coffee professionals taste and evaluate roasts side by side. At Brooklyn Roasting Company, we ditch rigid 1–100 point scores in favor of a flavor-color vocabulary—handing visitors a box of crayons to color in the notes they detect, from lemony yellows to blueberry blues. Serious about quality, but never snobby. For the first time ever, we’re bringing our interactive roastery cupping experience straight to your counter.
1. Choose Your Coffees
Select a pair by roast preference, or let our roasters pick two coffees that highlight distinct flavor profiles.
2. Pick Your Grind
Select Whole Bean if you have a grinder at home, or Ground Fresh—we’ll grind it to the exact coarseness needed for standard cupping.
What’s inside
- Two coffees, chosen by roast or by our roasters
- Two cupping cups, the same style we use at the roastery
- Two Brooklyn Roasting Company cupping spoons, deep and round for slurping
- A pack of crayons and two Color of Coffee postcards, one for you and one for a friend, for coloring in what you taste
- Issues #1 and #2 of our comic book: The Truth About Coffee and the Special Coffee Origins Issue. That’s 28 illustrated pages of coffee history, plant biology, myths, and brewing tips.
What you’ll need
- Water, just off the boil
- A timer
- A grinder, if you choose whole bean
Learn to cup
We built a complete, step-by-step cupping guide to take you through your first session: smelling the dry grounds, breaking the crust, slurping from the spoon, and comparing what you each tasted.
There’s no single right answer. Just two cups, a spoon, and what you taste.
